The Men Who Married A God:

Translated by Thomas Patharius  

By Thomas Patharius

II

There was once an Imperial Praefect named Sindarius Mattius. He was a fair looking man with dark hair. He was practical, a good soldier who followed orders, and served the First Empire with loyalty. He had friends, but no lover, and while his life was simple he simply enjoyed it. He lived in a house left to him by his father on the corner of the market, he only spent one month of the year at his house because his duties took him across Tamriel to help keep the local peace between the settling nations and the empire.   

One day Praefect Mattius was walking the streets of Blacklight, and there, illuminated by the blue lights of the waypoints was a woman with stark white hair and pale skin. He would not have been so shocked by her appearance if she were a Dunmer, as they do have white hair, but it was her pale skin that caused his surprise. She was human, and not an old woman but a young and beautiful sorceress. Before he even realized she was there she fell into the crowd and disappeared. The girl became a passing thought. A curiosity in a curious and perhaps even enchanting city. But as his fate would have it he ended up meeting her again not long after.      

When he saw her next she was singing and dancing at a corner club. Her attire was appropriate for her type of performance, and her movements were fluid while her voice carried to even the back. She danced around like a fairy, lighting up the atmosphere with her music while the patrons of the bar sang and danced along with her. The once heavy mood he and his soldiers felt was dispelled, almost like magic. For a brief moment Mattius wondered if the woman was truly that talented or if she actually used magic. When her performance was over Mattius saw her approach a Dunmer sailor, and they disappeared into the cornerclub together. 

The third time Mattius saw her was when he was sent for important business. She was in the company of House Redoran, there to help clean up a few issues that had been plaguing the house for quite some time. Her current summoning there, along with him and some of his men, was acting as a guide through Morrowid to deal with an insane Telvanni Magistrate who was encasing the roads between Veranis and Bodrum in a toxic mist for some unknown experiment. 

Mattius was more than surprised to see her with her hair up, wearing dark battle armor with a weapon at her hip. Once the formalities were finished, he approached her as if he knew her, despite that not being the case. “I didn’t think you were a mercenary.”

She turned to him, and the Praefect admitted she was far more beautiful up close. “Many people have their own opinions about me, what matters is all the fun ways I can confuse them over it.” And he had instantly decided he liked her. 

With something so dangerous plaguing the two cities, Praefect Mattius would have thought they would rush to the area where the mist was harming the innocent citizens. When he asked her why the lack of urgency, she responded with a merry smile. “Dunmer are not fools. Those who choose to ignore the warning and go through the mist regardless get what’s coming to them, that’s the Morrowind way.” 

Mattius had never heard such a startling statement. Yet, in his time in Morrowind she seemed to have grasped something that he could not. The people of this land, not just the Dunmer, were far harsher and full of callous grit than he had expected. The Imperial is not above saying that he never understood Morrowind’s customs, the dark elves are truly different compared to the Imperials. However, despite his lack of understanding of the Dunmer people the longer he traveled with the white haired woman the more she helped him understand it. The more he understood it, the more his men were invigorated to risk their lives for them, despite the people not feeling any gratitude back.

Perhaps, he later thought, that was her plan all along?

The fourth time they met he was lost in House Redoran. The place was a maze to him and he somehow found himself in the desolate private quarters of a certain council member. While turning a corner he bumped straight into her, knocking them both to the ground. She was wearing nothing but a thin red silk robe, body smelling of fine oils. “Lost?” She was not deterred by his presence and seemed to take him in stride. 

Mattius, though, was redder than a pomegranate. “Forgive me for encroaching!” He got up and turned away. 

This only seemed to peak her playfulness, running her hands up his back. “I do not mind. I was just finishing up, I could guide you to the exit if you’d like~” Instead of responding to her, he merely fled from embarrassment. He thought about the feelings of her creeping hands many nights afterwards. 

And so more and more their time ended up entangled, while they were fleeting increments, those increments left imprints on Sindarius Mattius’s mind. They spoke in taverns, exchanged words on the street, sometimes they met in similar awkward manners when she was with a lover, and sometimes he put his life in her hands when they fought enemies in the area. He found himself believing her to be one of the most unique, and perhaps in her own way, compassionate people he had ever met. 

One day he came to her, heart on his sleeve, and asked her to grant him the joy of her hand. 

For the first time Sindarius Mattius looked at her face, and it was an expression of mourning that did not match her. “Mattius…you know not what you ask.”

“Is there another man?” He knew, even now, that she had just come from another man’s bed (or perhaps it was an Argonian this time?). Perhaps monogamy was not something she was accustomed to? 

She laughed. “No, but I’m afraid it’s more complicated than my flights of fancy. Meet me alone at night, so that I may answer your feelings properly.”

So Sindarius Mattius met her at night alone in a clearing. He was prepared to have his heart broken. She appeared before him in a lavish dress with a blanket of stars falling over her shoulder. She wore a black crown and her eyes were filled with the power he had seen her display many times during the times he’s fought beside her. “I am not mortal.” She revealed herself to him as The God of Cruelty, the Harbinger of Evil wishes. And when she revealed this truth he knew it in his soul.  

The mortal fell to his face, bowing before her as he would any of the other Divines in the pantheon. “I have nothing worthy to offer a God.”

“I know, and so I shall marry you.”

And so Sindarius Mattius took her hand in marriage and she lived as mortal. They returned to the Imperial capital and he lived out the remainder of his life with the warmth of a home and the love of his wife and children, as he desired with her.

hirmi: 3, 6 kosei: 9, 13 jovian: 16, 19 bodrum: 23, 30

i forgot about this

hirmi

3. What does their safe space look like?

his safe space is a quiet firbolg village in the woods! this is his best friend's hometown and is almost entirely off the map, so outsiders can't find it. druidic magic makes it a nice shelter from the northern winter. it always feels like spring/summer there.

hirmi spends about 5 years living here with his friend's family after his friend dies while he Emotionally Prepares to reenter society. his safe spaces in his own hometown would be the hot springs spa or just his bedroom! any place with quiet, ambient light, and a relaxing atmosphere is somewhere he would gravitate towards. he decorates his room with a lot of nature-inspired things, so it kind of feels like his other home in the woods. :)

6. What kind of books comfort them? What books help them heal after a hard day?

i don't think he's much of a reader honestly LOL. he does have a pocket field guide that was a gift from his grandma that he enjoys reading. i wouldn't say he goes to it for "healing" tho...

the 3rd arc in his story focuses on him learning more about his culture's religion. i could see him finding comfort in the bible-equivalent or sacred texts or whatever of his moon goddess.

kosei

9. What is your character’s trigger point? What makes them angry, sad or makes them go off?

kosei is a nobody who is slowly regaining his ability to really "feel" things. i try to rp him pretty straight-faced to capture that "heartless" vibe, but recently in our story he did have a moment when he snapped once he found out one of his friends is/was being manipulated by their nemeses (plural). they were convincing his friend that they (kosei and his other friends) were the real enemy, and he thought he had lost his friend forever. he doesn't like the feeling that something is being taken away from him, or that he is helpless, or that he is backed into a corner.

13. Describe your character’s typical wardrobe for the regular day.

he is a train mechanic at the twilight town train station! he usually wears clothes that are comfortable and easy to work and move in. he just wears sweatpants, a jacket, sneakers and some working gloves.

jovian

16. What do they look for in a friend? A love interest?

jokes on you because jovian doesn't "look for" anything in a friend. if you breathe air he is your friend.

as for love interest, he needs someone with the same vibe as him. he would want someone who at least understands and respects his religion, even if they don't practice it themself. someone who is sympathetic, playful, and nonjudgmental. he's not the type of person who would make appearance a high priority in a romantic partner.

19. What does your character consider to be their lowest point?

the whole drugs thing was objectively a bad look for him.

bodrum

23. What is your character’s favourite food and who cooks it best?

he's a big fan of alternian game. anything hunted, like ducks, chickens, or pheasants/quail. he likes them fresh and roasted, maybe with vegetables or stuffing and a nice dry rub. i think he CAN cook it himself, and he cooks it just the way he likes it, but i also can see amytis taking great great care to learn to cook it the way he likes it. he likes it more when he doesn't have to put the effort into doing it himself LOL (don't we all).

30. Do they dwell better in chaotic situations or more linear situations?

DEFINITELY linear situations. he needs a chance to think about what's happening and can't make a snap decision. one thing at a time, please.

Alternatively, autumn (September to November) offers similar weather, with cooler days and smaller crowds. It’s perfect for visiting historical sites such as Ephesus or enjoying a Bosphorus cruise. If beach relaxation is your goal, summer (June to August) is best for the Aegean and Mediterranean coasts. Popular spots like Antalya, Bodrum, and Fethiye offer warm waters and lively resorts. However, prepare for higher temperatures and larger crowds. For winter enthusiasts, December to March provides opportunities for skiing in Uludağ or exploring Cappadocia’s snow-dusted fairy chimneys.

Leaving Mesopotamia for the coast

Before we left Mesopotamia, we took a photo of us with Turgay, our guide, and Yosef, our driver.

They have been great. Turgay especially found wheelchairs for Cathie for extended museum visits and worked hard not to let her get exhausted when visiting sites. The weather was often hot and sunny, so uphill walks were a problem.

We are now on the Kaya Güneri, an eight-cabin gulet on the Turkish Aegean coast. We left Bodrum last night and anchored in a bay nearby.

It's a lovely boat, and it looks like a great coming week.

Sunrise this morning from the rear deck.

The trip will be well-paced, with plenty of time to relax during visits to ancient sites. But the shore is very hilly, and we've been warned that some walks will be too much for Cathie.
